Rtx 5090 day one!

 

[Rival]

I look forward to not being able to buy a 5090 for months after launch then finally having the opportunity to buy one before deciding not to because I don’t want to spend $2000 on a gpu and then riding my 3080ti another generation.

 

[Dr.D00p]

I like how the entire 4000 generation came and went without them being in stock consistently.

It boggles my mind that you still, nearly 2yrs after launch, can't freely rock up and buy a 4080 or 4090 Founders Edition card direct from Nvidia.

 

[Insane Metal]

Beast.

 

[Jigsaah]

I think I'm gonna have to bow out of this gen. A $2000-2500 GPU is nonsense when my 4090 crushes all games that I play.

Gonna chill out and get the next x3d AMD CPU, new mobo and RAM. Only way I buy a 5090 is if I can sell the 4090 at damn near MRSP.

 

[Black_Stride]

Again with the stupid 128 bit bus.

Expect another XX60 tier failure that isn't worth it's cost.

Cache plus general gains from architecture and GDDR7 will mean the bus width wont be anywhere near like for like gen on gen.

The 4060(Ti) used GDDR6....not 6X base 6 on a 128but bus.
Yeah that thing was choking for dear life.

A 128bit of GDDR7 with more cache will be much much less of an issue.

It's still 2 GB chips so I wouldn't expect any vram increases except for the 5090, which might be 28 GB.

Ill fuck a duck if any cards are 8GB (outside of those oddball launches like a 5050 or something)
I expect the baseline to be 10-12GB now.

 

[dorkimoe]

not even worth caring about, be sold out for 2 years

The 128 bit cards are going to be 8 GB. Maybe they will do 16 again for the 5060 Ti, but I'd hate to see what the premium would be.

Edit: The mobile lineup got leaked earlier, and it's 8-8-8-12-16-16 instead of 6-8-8-12-16. Although it appears the products have moved a tier in pricing up.

$2500 MSRP because some will pay. Imagine you can get a switch 2 / PS5 Pro / and new Series X and a year of Gamepass and PSNOW for about $1500 and have a shit ton of games to play or pay $2500 for a GPU that zero games will push for 2-3 years. That said I want one but I think I might have to slip into Geforce Now Ultimate once they support these cards in the cloud. It's becoming harder to be on the front lines anymore. PC / GPU / Monitor all need to be top of the line to support this stuff and we still have an OS which sucks for gaming!!!

 

[Kamina]

AMD really needs to get their shit together

 

[//DEVIL//]

I love to see this. Suddenly it's too expensive? As if the 4090 wasn't overpriced as is? But hey, I warned people about this back when the OG Titan hit and people bought it up anyways. Nvidia will continue to raise prices because people keep saying ok to it.

And no this isn't an anti-Nvidia thing, if AMD was the market lead they;'d do it too. That said, I refuse to support it regardless even though I can afford it. I used to have a hard $500 cap on gpu's but with inflation these days it's bumped up. Spending $1,000 or more on a card is insane to me though.

You warning people won’t change anything . It’s not like you and I have million followers or big YouTubers or influencers to matter a bit ( even if we were, it means nothing ) god knows how many times hardware unboxed tried that and people still bought the 4090 in droves and I am one of them .

Yes it’s expensive for a video game hobby but each person limit is different . Mine probably is about 2k max. Others 3k. Half of the peeps here wouldn’t spend over 500$.

So save your breathe . We are not the center of the world.

 

[simpatico]

5070 Ti @ 192 bit….. I dunno guys. Not ideal.

 

[KormaChameleon]

I think any GPU is a big upgraded from the 2070S.

 

[Corporal.Hicks]

I have just upgraded my old CPU (3770K to a 7800X3D), but I also planning to upgrade my GPU in August because the GTX1080 can no longer give me 50/60fps at 1440p in the latest games even at console like settings.

The problem is that even something like the RTX4080 is not fast enough to run the most demanding games (RT/PT games like Alan Wake 2) at 1440p 60fps, at least not without upscaling, so I would spend $1000 and still not be 100% happy with the results.

I can buy something like a 4070tiS / 4080 in August and play the most demanding games with compromises (DLSS3 and FG), or wait for the launch of the RTX5080 and hope that it will offer a substantial RT performance improvement. Tough decision .

dlss isn't much of a compromise I don't think. It's damn good. I've got a 3080 and can pretty much max out most things at 1440p even with rt.

 

[SHA]

Scalping is an inside job, there are no real theifs, just betrayed employees by Nvidia.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I Hope that 5090 is so good it makes all of us 4090 owners want to upgrade!

 

[SHA]

So it might be the same thing as the 4xxx series where the top end GPU is the only one that represents good value for the consumer.

The more you s the more you make.

 

[Corporal.Hicks]

I have only seen DLSS on screenshot comparisons, but in games like The Witcher 3 or Ghost Of Tsushima I have used FSR2 quality and I did not like the results, so I would definitely want to play at native. How much better does DLSS look compared to FSR2?

I dont like how FSR2 looks, but FSR2 native looks great in Ghost of Tsushima, it has similar sharpness to SMAA, but no shimmering. If DLSS looked like this, I would be happy with the image quality.

 

[SHA]

For 8 laps if I'm not mistaken.

 

[hinch7]

DDR7 and potentially larger cache will mitigate bandwidth worries. I'd be more concerned if they stuck with 12GB. In any case I doubt Nvidia cares, they just want to sell GB202's mostly to gamers.

 

[Sentenza]

Based on this 5080 should be weaker than 4090.

Massive fucking scam again, 5090 will be fucking big and powerful and then we have mid tier 5080, massive gap in between.

This is Ada part 2 - we will scam you again!

Aside from the fact that he was obviously being cheeky with the marketing tagline, I wonder if people realize he wasn't even remotely thinking of the consumer market during that presentation.
It was all aimed to businesses running their own server farms. Not Average Joe using his 1070 to play videogames.

 

[SHA]

Nah man.. We all know what we buy and for how much, and how these fits in our personal situation of value. Nvidia's practices are well-known and unapologetic, arguably shameful, but it certainly doesn't constitute a scam in any sense of the term.

Jensen is always doubling down in Technology even though the silicon material is failing him.

 

[Gp1]

And here is my completely PTSD 1060 waiting for a good xx60/60ti value offer for another generation...

Maybe ill go with a 5070 if they don't f* us up on VRAM.

It's Nvidia, let's wait AMD see what will be the gimmicks and the small letters this time...

 

[SolidQ]

5070 if they don't f* us up on VRAM.

12GB is for you

 

[Dirk Benedict]

The 4090 has outsold the 3090 2x with zero crypto demand and no covid bucks, and the 4070's (same price bracket as 3080) have nearly 2x'd the 3080. No one is actually broke, that's just theater they post online. Dumbass half retarded early 20's kids with a GED making $30/hr out here now. A $2500 5090 will enjoy sub-1 minute sellouts for 6+ months just like the 4090 did.

I want to believe that, but the 4090 was always within reach for me, while the 3090 never was. Standing in line, trying to win spots in raffles. Maybe it was just bad luck?

 

[nkarafo]

I expect the baseline to be 10-12GB now.

But can a 128bit bus card have 12 GB? Isn't it restricted to either 8 or 16? Which automatically means 8 since it's Nvidia we are talking about here?

I'm calling it right now, the 5060 will be the same crappy deal as the 4060, 8GB at 400$ and 16GB at 500$ with very small performance gains over the 3060/4060.

My expectations are really low after waiting for so many years for a decent deal on a mid-range Nvidia card.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Why yes I do want to be "blacked".

 

[StereoVsn]

I take it MSRP for 5090 is 1999 dollars.

Maybe $2,500 even. It’s crazy big in core counts and more then double of 5080.

In theory they can use 3GB chips so 128 bit GPU can have 12GB of memory.

The 5060s are coming way down the line when 3GB modules will be available.
So 12GB shouldnt be outside the realm of possiblity....but as you said its Nvidia and they are committing the GDDR7, so maybe the fuck the entrylevel guys over again.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Jesus, doesn't sound good for consumers. I'll wait and see what AMD brings to the table and make a decision from there. I'm not paying £2000 for a fucking GPU, that's nonsense.

 

[demigod]

Blackwell better come with a free game, Black Myth.

 

[Klik]

Upgrading from i5 12400f+ RTX 3060ti i wanna get Ryzen 9900X3D + RTX 5080 but honestly i dont see any new UE5 game that would justify this GPU..

My RTX3060ti is still running new games at 60-80fps/dlss high settings on 1440p..

 

[Gaiff]

There hasn’t been a 4080 Ti. What makes you think there will be a 5080 Ti?

These just randomly come and go. There was a 780 Ti, a 980 Ti, a 1080 Ti, a 2080 Ti, and a 3080 Ti but no 680 Ti or 4080 Ti.

Not sure if thats ever going to happen. If you're in the market for a sub $400 GPU. I'd look into getting something now instead of waiting a year or two to get something marginly better, or worse a regression in cost per frame.

6800's are going for like around $360. Which is already faster than a 4060Ti with 16GB VRAM. And it's not like these lower end SKU's are going to be that much more performant than current ones.

 

[StereoVsn]

Rtx 5090 day one!

Yeah, this is probably the way to go looking at the crazy specs.

 

[simpatico]

DDR7 and potentially larger cache will mitigate bandwidth worries. I'd be more concerned if they stuck with 12GB. In any case I doubt Nvidia cares, they just want to sell GB202's mostly to gamers.

Not many gamers want to get financing on a GB202 and the power supply required to make it turn over. Especially when they’ve all learned the shine wears off in 18 months. I’ve got a shelf in my workshop with the first two GTX Titan cards Nvidia ever came out with. They serve as my reminder and I never dust them.

Yeah, he was referring to scaling in datacenters and power consumption. So the more GPUs you buy, the faster you run your inference and training, the more power you save and so on.

I mean it’s still bullshit, but it’s not talking about regular consumers. It’s trying to sell to hyper scalers by literal truckloads at $20-40K a card.

 

[MH3M3D]

I fail to see how even the 4000 series was maxed out by games. My 7800 XT can play 4K games without raytracing just fine, even UE5 games.
Its all about benchmarking and bragging rights these days.

Performance

Nvidia: Choose two!

 

[Puscifer]

I am really dreading the prices they gonna charge for the 5080 and 5090...

Has it been confirmed yet? I can't lie, I've already decided the 4 series and PS5 along with my deck and pocket are the last systems I'm owning in general but damn I can't do this pricing anymore lol

 

[BennyBlanco]

I am gonna sit this one out because there are legit zero demanding games coming out next year that I wanna play. What game is Nvidia gonna use to sell these? Wukong?

 

[hangdang69]

Just buy NVDA shares and use your profits to buy their cards. Free GPUs.

 

[Celcius]

I'm hoping Gears of War E-Day has ray tracing (or maybe even path tracing)

 

[analog_future]

Marvel 1943 will be a really good one. And maybe Fable, DOOM: The Dark Ages, and Perfect Dark as well.

Not to mention 2026 games (6090 still won't be out by then) like Gears of War: E-Day, GTA VI, and all kinds of stuff that hasn't been announced yet.

 

[GHG]

I'm hoping Gears of War E-Day has ray tracing (or maybe even path tracing)

That isn't coming next year. If it were they would have said so.

 

[Silver Wattle]

Fucking hell NVIDIA, except for the 5090, those core counts are pathetic.

The 5080 is less than half the 5090.
